This vegan adaptation of traditional Spanish Style Beans and Rice is a nice light dish. Plate it with some fresh fruit slices for added color and flavor and you have a lovely, healthy dinner.

Lentils creamy soup by Gourmandelle LifestyleBlog

I like crème soups very much but my boyfriend absolutely hates them, this is the reason why I rarely make them. This one is delicious. I love lentils not only for their flavor but also because lentils are high in proteins. Did you know that 100g of lentils contain more proteins than 100g of beef meat?! Well you know now!

Egyptian Edamame Stew is a spicy take on the traditional Egyptian classic "ful medames". This recipe uses Edamame which is fresh green soybeans.
